*raises hand* Since ABC is broadcasting the NBA Finals, no reason to really mess with ESPN at all.
though trying to keep the faith that the Magic will come out victorious is getting seriously hammered right now 
The argument is just as flawed as how ESPN wants all TV packages - including the most basic packages - to have their channel included, even if chances are that the viewers will never tune to that channel.
it's not really ESPN. ESPN is owned by ABC which is owned by Disney. If ESPN was still independant and it was just an issue of then then I can see where some cable companies would put it on a sports tier, but as I said Disney owns ESPN. And the Mouse has a lot of power.
